India Women vs South Africa Women Highlights: Persistent rain forced the abandonment of the second women’s T20 International between India and South Africa after the visitors made 177 for six in their innings here on Sunday.

It helped South Africa maintain their 1-0 lead in the three-match series, and now, India will have to win the third and final T20I here on Tuesday (July 9) to avoid a rare home series defeat.

Earlier, Tazmin Brits made a measured fifty as South Africa overcame some mid-innings jitters to post a challenging 177 for six against India in the second Women’s T20 International here on Sunday.

Brits (52 off 39 balls) received solid support from Anneke Bosch (40 off 32 balls) as the Proteas racked up their second-highest T20I total against India after rain delayed the start of the match by 15 minutes.

Openers Laura Wolvaardt (22 off 12 balls) and Brits were involved in a 42-run opening stand before pacer Pooja Vastrakar got rid of the former in the fifth over.

Brief Scores: South Africa: 177 for 6 in 20 overs (Tazmin Brits 52, Anneke Bosch 40, Laura Wolvaardt 22; Deepti Sharma 2/20, Pooja Vastrakar 2/37).
